The most common ones, the 10" records, plays 3 minutes, but there are slight differences between records.
***************
Yep! 12-inch a little over 4 minutes. Now before the 78 speed was standard and the sizes of the records were standardized it was all over the place. There were all kinds of experiments in speed and record size to get more time on a record. But by the late teens and around 1920 the 78 speed and 10-inch or 12-inch records was standard.

You will find the speed you want the turntable to turn at on the label eg, 33 1/3 rpm, 45 rpm or 78 rpm. A 45 rpm will have a larger hole in the middle than a 33 1/3, more commonly known as an album because it will have between 1 and 9 or 10 songs on each side and a 78 will have only 1 song per side, 78's are the oldest and in most cases worth the most if you were looking to sell them.

45 revolutions per minute.

Hope this little bit of music history answers your question and fills your mind The above answer is pretty much on the money....I'll add my two cents worth........ I believe that RPM stands for REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE. The old fashion record PLAYERS that played the "78's" were called phonographs and had only one speed- 78 RPM's. The more recent record PLAYERS usually had two speeds- 45 (RPM) and 33 1/3 (RPM). They could play the smaller vinyl records (or disks)- the "45's"- AND the larger vinyl records called "ALBUMS" or "LP's" (short for "long playing") at 33 1/3 RPM. The 45's had only one song on each side, while the LP's had multiple songs on each side. Now, everything is on a CD, but many times they still refer to them as "albums". REAL VINYL records and albums are not sold anymore, unless you go to a specialty record store that carries "antiques"!! <<<adr>>>

Why 78 rpm records?
78 rpm records, introduced in the late 19th century, were designed to provide a more durable and higher-fidelity medium for sound recording compared to earlier formats. The 78 rpm speed allowed for better sound quality and longer playtime, typically offering about three to five minutes of audio per side. Made primarily of shellac, these records were widely used until the advent of 33 1/3 rpm and 45 rpm vinyl records in the mid-20th century, which offered even better sound and convenience. Despite their decline, 78s remain significant in music history for their role in the development of popular music.

Additionally, the grooves on 78 records are wider and more pronounced compared to modern vinyl records, which helps in distinguishing them.
